The Law of Attraction

Chapter 427: Willing To Wait

Lana woke up late and as she expected… She had a splitting headache and felt like her head would burst from this pain at any minute. But a smile crept up on her beautiful face as she recalled what happened last night. She opened her eyes and saw herself alone in Liam's room.

She got up from the bed. She was wearing her nightgown already. Liam probably put it back on her. The door opened and it was Miley.

"I brought you some of your clothes… Go change into them and let's have some breakfast." Miley said with a bright smile.

"Liam?" was the first word Lana uttered.

Miley had that meaningful smile as she answered, "Don't worry. He's with father and Jorge. It's the weekend so he can't have an alibi not to spend time with the family."

"Was the plan successful?" Miley excitedly asked and seeing Lana's face blush with that bashful smile confirmed the answer to be what she wanted.

"Ohhh… Okay go and change already." Miley mumbled and left.

Lana quickly went into the bathroom to have a quick shower. She was swelling all over her body. Her face was all red as she recalled how shameless she became for the whole night.

She would not have dared to do that if it was not for the alcohol in her system.

As soon as she was done, she immediately went out to join everyone for breakfast.

"Goodmorning." Lana greeted everyone and was glad to see Chelsy there who probably stayed the night as well like her. She looked at Liam and her eyebrows lifted up seeing his expressionless face.

'Is he acting as if nothing had happened?' she mused and decided to do the same. If Liam would like to play innocent then she would let him and take advantage of it in any and every way that she could.

Her shoulders dropped but then she knew that she should not expect a thing since it had only been a few days. She needed to work harder in wooing Liam.

"How did you sleep, brother?" Miley asked with a grin.

Liam cleared his throat and gazed at his sister with an intimidating look as he answered, "Good, Miley."

Miley nodded as she nonchalantly mumbled, "I see. I guess you enjoyed your sleep last night. You must have missed the comfort of your bed after not sleeping in your room for a while."

Liam coughed as he felt something block his throat. He could feel the teasing in the tone of his sister who was definitely the mastermind behind why Lana ended up on his bed instead of one of their guestrooms, as Miley had stated last night to their father.

He decided to act as if nothing happened and would wait for whatever Lana would do next. He had scolded himself several times already the moment he woke up for being so weak.

After breakfast, Senior Sy looked at Lana and asked, "Do you have plans any for this weekend?"

Lana nodded and said, "I will visit Luo and Noah today. They actually invited me for lunch…"

"Alright then." Senior Sy breathed then looked at Liam and instructed, "You should drive Lana back, Liam."

'I will have Andrew to drive her back father so don't worry…" Liam answered plainly. Miley's eyebrows drew together. Her brother was still giving Lana his cold shoulders.

'Didn't something happen last night? Didn't they get intimate with each other at all?' she mused because she was sure they did by just reading Lana's expression.

Lana looked at Liam and casually said, "It's okay, I can ask Kyle to pick me up from here since he is also invited…"

"Kyle? You mean the paralegal?" Miley dug and Lana nodded with a smile.

Liam's face darkened, hearing the name Kyle.

Lana, on the other hand, observed his expressions well. She remembered how Liam mocked her last night with the whole "another man" thing so she assumed someone told Liam she was with Kyle because he was the only man she was often with, ever since she came back.

And as she assumed he could be jealous…

Lana smiled at Miley and said, "Yeah, he's a lawyer now and I have him appointed as the team leader of the legal department."

"Oh wow… But why not get Noah's firm instead or …" Miley was about to add Liam but paused since it could be awkward to do so.

Lana shook her head and said, "Yes, Noah is handling the legal department with his team but I wanted someone I can trust to lead it apart from Noah since Noah is not a lawyer himself."

"Isn't he a rookie? have you given it a serious thought before entrusting something as big as Zhao group to him?!" Liam scorned.

"Nope… He has worked with me for a lot of years now. I know him well enough already to entrust him with this task. He is more than capable…" Lana said.

"I will drive you back instead since I also will be on my way back to the apartment anyway." Liam suddenly cut her off.

He stood up from his chair and added, "I will wait outside…"

Lana inwardly grinned… Because this was exactly what she expected, she knew her husband too well.

'Playing hard to get!' Miley wanted to tease her brother who just left.

She looked at Lana and said, "Have patience… He will play hard to get for a month at max, I think.."

Chelsy could not help but chuckle and added, "Yeah but he obviously still loves you and seems to be jealous too…"

Jorge's face crumpled as he interrupted, "You girls… Do you really think you can read us like that?"

"Yes!" Chelsy and Miley both answered in a chorus and laughed afterwards.

Lana then bid her farewell to everyone and said, "I hope to see you all soon and often."

Senior Sy nodded and advised, "Just hang in there. It will take time for Liam to fully take you back. He too has a lot of trauma with women leaving him behind and I'm sure you leaving him was the worst thing to have happened for him…"

"I understand that father and I'm willing to wait patiently until he fully accepts me back. I will wait, no matter how long it may take… even if it takes forever… I will never leave his side no matter what..." Lana stated, full of conviction.
